Just this past week, I had a sudden thing happen to me where I fell totally in love with the duckbill platypus. And I e-mailed Princess of Dork from work and told her, “I know what I want for Christmas! I want a duckbill platypus!” (a stuffed toy one of course). I’m not entirely sure but I think there is somewhere, some sort of tie between a duckbill platypus and an anteater? (Oh I know. There’s probably a tie between a platypus and many things) I think it goes back to some prehistoric time but I’m not sure. At any rate…could I please request posts of duckbill platypi (?? plural?) on CO? They are so fascinating and also really cute!

I think I may have found a word which, when typed here, finds one flung into the Mod Lounge. I tried to discuss this cute animal I love who has a bill, fur, makes milk, lays eggs and (in males) shoots venom from his hind paw/flipper things. But I’d better not say what the animal is called because I think I got Mod-Lounged for it. (Loving the pizza in here!) :)
